Our Reply TO Mr.. Representative Nc.
'" Gehee.


In last weeks Cresset appears an
article of over column in length,
over the signature of MIR. McGehee,
and devoted to the editor of the FREE
PRESS. 1t has the following sensa-
tional caption: "Hon. Geo. Nc
,Gehee Replies to I. II. Julian. A
Liar, Communist, and Would-be
Assassin of Southern Women and
Children" And it is addressed "To
the voters of Hays, Guadalupe and
Caldwell counties"
In the course of this article Mr..
McGehee responds to our recent call
on him, by announcing himself une'
quivocally opposed to the prohibi-
ton amendment The first impress
sion of the reader will be that the
article displays an amount of hostil-
ity and bitterness out of oil proper
ton to the provocation given. This
we think can be explained, however,
on the snpposition that it was intend
ed as ON electioneerng document
The fact of it's issue just before the
election, after orr last regular issue,
when it might naturally have been
supposed we would have no oppor-
tunity for reply before the election,
favors this supposltion. MIR. Nc
.Gehee had plenty of time to have got
his article before the public week
earlier, if he had seen proper, for the
matters he comments on appeared in
the FREE Press, the first about q
month ago, and the last some two
weeks since. Hence we infer that
his letter, like that of Jefferson
Davis, which appears alongside OF it,
was specially timed for effect, at the
last moment, ON the pending election.
However all this may be, it seems
incumbent on us to give the article
of Mr.. McGehee some notice, and we
choose to do so before the election,
by anticipating little our regular
publication day. We regret to have
to devote any space pending the de-
.cision Of the great question before
the people to personalities, but our
readers will see that the matter has
not been ofour own choosing, but is in
a manner forced upon us. Consider
able of the space we propose to oc
cupy will be filed with extracts from
Mr.. McGehee's remarkable article; our
comments We hope b make brief.
We recently published statement
Of Mr.. McGehee's action in inhuenc-
ing the advertising of the amend
ments against us. Our authority was
a gentleman who. in common with
several others, heard Mr. McGehee's
own public statement of the matter
on our streets. Nearly One-third of
his present article is devoted to go

Care for the Children

Children feel the debility of the changing
seasons, even more than adults, and they be-
come cross, peevish, and uncomfortable.
The blood should be cleansed and the system
invigorated by the use of Hoods Sarsaparilla.
"Last Spring my two children were vacci-
mated. Soon after, they broke all out with run
ming sores, so dreadful thought should lose
them. Hoods Sarsaparilla cured them COM
pletely; and they have been healthy ever
since. do feel that Hoods Sarsaparilla
saved my children 10 me-" Mrs. G. L.

There's a land beyond the river.
Where the skies are ever far,
And have an angel mother,
WHO is waiting for me there;
She went 0 er the silent waters,
At the setting of the sun;
And know that she is happy,
For the Christians course is run.
In that land wnore she is waiting
For the ones she loved on earth,
Sin and sorrow meier enter;
But eternal joys have birth.
Where the loved ones gone before us
Wait and watch beside the tide
For the friends they left behind them
On the r.9er's earthly side.
When the solemn summons calls US
To the mansions of the blest,
We shall lose our earthly sorrows
In cuse of biissful rest.
There eternal peac> and quiet,

And no pain can ever enter
On the river 5 further shore.
